I just remembered this classic.

Protect the InXile devs at all costs! they seem very happy to be part of Xbox.

Still funny to me that he didn’t realise this is a vertical merger.

Hope this is over by next week and we get Crash and some of those older CODs on Game Pass right away, I want to try those campaigns so bad.

By the way he worded it it’s clear he didn’t know about these things back then, he is probably more educated on this topic now but still wants the deal blocked if I had to guess.

Not new because it started in 2018 but still feels surreal to see Microsoft spend so much money on Xbox, this is what a lot of Xbox fans thought they should’ve done early last gen to at least prepare for the future, I fee confident saying that all future console launches for Xbox will be full of great content.

He obviously hasn’t been scammed online or on mobile.

Lmao this guy, why isn’t he doing articles about the share price anymore, I guess it no longer fits the narrative.

Fuckin finally!!!

Jim Ryan and Lina Khan read “The Art of the Deal” when they should have read “The Art of War”, smh.

Fan art, videos and podcasts are going to pop off this week, FTC and CMA were only delaying so they could let Xbox fans cook even harder.

BadMoodJones · July 15, 2023, 5:46am

We both cooking and eating good now

Zappy5 · July 15, 2023, 5:51am

Fantastic. It’s time to get this thing done and celebrate. C’mon CMA don’t hold this one up anymore.

CallMeCraig · July 15, 2023, 5:57am

We should all play CoD 2 to see how a big exclusive Activison game feels

Thebaconlife · July 15, 2023, 6:02am

Now they need to go get Asobo, Remedy, and Team Cherry and yes …from software(make it happen)

TLLDOB · July 15, 2023, 6:12am

Since the CMA isn’t happening until September, does it mean Microsoft has to pay $3 billion?

Coug · July 15, 2023, 6:14am

No. Per the purchase agreement they will close by 11:59pm July 18th, 2023 PST that’s Tuesday.

TLLDOB · July 15, 2023, 6:15am

I thought the deal required global approval to close. UK hasn’t approved, thus the deal isn’t done.

Coug · July 15, 2023, 6:17am

No, It does not need global approval. It will close Tuesday. With or without the CMA. (Hence the reason why the CMA is all of a sudden back at the table)
